Holding The Appellate Division modified the lower court’s judgment to vacate the personal money judgment against the property owner and instead direct foreclosure and sale of the property to satisfy the relocation lien. The court held that the City met its prima facie burden by submitting the relocation lien as proof of expenses, and the owner failed to address the reasonableness of those expenses in opposition.
